Players there focus a lot more on game experience than wealth hoarding.
Cheque fee is simply here to discourage wealth hoarding but understanding that without cheque premium items cannot be as valuable.
To me the introduction of cheques is one of the primary reasons why players here waste their time nanban / resell to wealth hoard, rather than enjoying the game.
you were acting like the Political Correctness Police when you criticised @Donny71
Not at all, he dissed an entire race without even knowing his facts. Pure assumption. How is making an uniformed point about an entire race a valid point? Yes local customs are the norm for every culture but it doesn't make them ignorant towards other other peoples beliefs and customs and thus if not celebrate it, at least acknowledge it.
Actually I think it's you who is taking a very US-centred view of world
culture.
See now you just look like a hypocrite when you you accuse someone of an action, and the do the same back to them without any facts to support you. What makes you think i'm even American? If you follow any of the threads on this forum and/or even spend time in the game, then you would know that (as i've stated it in many threads) I'm Canadian NOT American. FYI Canada is known world wide as one of the MOST culturally accepting and diverse counties in the world, especially under the current Trump regime in the US! Just to 'educate you', in Canada although as individuals we may not celebrate EVERY holiday of every culture we at least acknowledge it. You can't turn on any news station here without a mention of most cultural holidays out there, weather be Ramadan or most recently, Chinese New Year (did you even know that???). Hell, we even wish people a happy Kwanzaa at Christmas!
Eid and Ramadan are celebrated in the US, but do you have any idea when?
Or what they are all about? And do you have much awareness of what
major holidays are celebrated in Japan?
Considering i have Muslim and Japanese friends and co-workers, yes i know very well when their holidays are. Do you even know without having to google it? I doubt it considering your statement...
I googled St Patrick's day in Japan.
So you didn't even know anything about it yourself when it comes to Japanese celebrations! What a hypocrite. And why would you even bring up the topic of Islam in the US when the whole topic of this conversation is about weather it's Koei (which is Japanese based) or Papaya that has control over the code of the game. It has nothing to do with this topic at all! Talk about "grasping at straws". Well guess what? you got the short straw on this one...
is not a big deal in the UK. It's become more prominent in recent years -
but mainly as a way for pubs to sell more alcohol to teenagers. When I
play games which are US-based it always surprises me when St Patrick's
Day pops up as a 'big thing'.
ya so what? pretty much everywhere it's known as a day to 'get drunk'. Most people that know of St. Patrick's day, dont' know the real history behind it but it doesn't mean that they don't acknowledge it and or celebrate it. But you can say the same thing for pretty much every holiday out there. A large percentage of people only see Christmas as a time to see family and get presents but that's not what it's about at all. What's you point here???
It also might surprise you to know that in a survey last year the UK
Office of National Statistics found that for the first time in our (UK)
history there were more atheists in the country than believers (of any
religion). So yeah, while we might celebrate Xmas it's no longer a
predominantly Christian festival.
The time of Christmas is actually a pegan celebration of the sun's return from darkness (it's lowest point in the sky, the winter solstice) to light (where it starts to rise again for the spring), at least in the Northern hemisphere but then again Christianity originated in the north. It's not Jesus's actual birthday, as he was a pisces which puts his birth in the spring not the winter. His symbol is a fish for crying out loud, and he represents the age of Pisces in astrology! I'm not even a catholic and i know that lol. The Console of Nicaea which created the first bible changed Jesus's birth date to coincide with the old beliefs systems to help convert them over to Christianity. If you are from the UK are you even Catholic or CoE? Either way, the history is the same until Martin Luther separated the churches in the 16th century with his reformation.
In 1997 an Irish Society started running parades in one Japanese city to "raise awareness of Irish culture". @Donny71 is correct - the Japanese do not celebrate St Patrick's day, in any meaningful sense of the word 'celebrate'.
He never said anything along those lines. He stated plain and simple that he doubted they celebrated it at all period! And in your own words it's been celebrated in Japan for over 20 years now. Honestly hun, do your research before you make accusations...
No i'm neither a GM or work for OGP, but i use 'common sense'. If you look at the facts that i stated earlier you can see the truth for your self. Like i said 'truth' is usually the simplest answer but people can't handle the truth because they need to over complicate everything and refuse to believe that that answer could be that simple. That's why there is a saying that states...'The best place to hide a secret is right in the open'
The only 'Pandora's Box's' here is one of your making. You've lost sight of the big picture.
You acted judgementally in your initial response to @Donny76 . All you needed to say was, "Actually mate, it's not big in Japan but there are St. Patrick's day events."
I am flattered you have put so much time and effort into the line by
line analysis of my comments. I'm sorry I haven't got the time to read
it all.
TLDR??? OMG give me a break. That's a cop-out excuse people use when they can't argue their point. Considering all your posts on this forum shows you spend plenty of time here and very well read every word i wrote. pretty weak lee, pretty weak...
We are arguing about the 10% service charge Papaya has added to the bar tab on St Patrick's day.
wow, you're like a broken record when it comes to papaya. They could make a formal statement saying that they don't make any decisions and you STILL wouldn't believe them. Even if you don't believe what i say about whom makes the decisions for game content, you should at least listen to Gazi. He IS a CA in this game and if anyone knows what's going on when it comes to the game it would be him. In this very thread he said that Koei is the one who makes the decisions for the game not papaya! Honestly lee, you are to much. It's the first line in his post... oh but i forgot, you probably just "TLDR" right? weak...
